LONG TIME MARRIED

LOCAL COtPLKS "WHO HAVE LIVED TOGETHER OVER FIFTY YEAHS. Some of the AVetltllns of Lonjc Ago Described nrldnl Trip Through "Wild Country. One of the usual demands of grandchildren of their grandmothers Is to "tell about when you were a girl." The old ladies draw on their varied experiences of the past for the entertainment of the succeeding generations, and "nothing more delights the latter than a recital of the old times. It used to be thought a very rare occurrence, a golden wedding. If the chroniclers can pro 'e that there Is not bo much longevity to-day as there was a hundred years aro or more let him do so. There are several couples in this city who have more than celebrated their golden anniversary. Only a few days ago Mr. and Mrs. John Wood were at home Informally to receive congratulations on having reached the fifly-fourth anniversary of married life. The younger generations think that persons who have marked the half century In married life are very, very old. Prought face to face with some of these couples their opinions would change. Perhaps the reason 13 that p.?ople us3d to get married much 3'ounger than they do now. Fashions in the days when these? golder weddings were fifty years younger were followed as much as now. The fact that Mrs. John Wood wore an ashes-of-roes silk shows that colors are revived, for ashes-of-roses is to be one of the leading colors of the autumn. Soma of the brides of fifty years ago have been prevailed on to tell of their weddings, and doubtless an account of them will be read with as n.uh Interest by their friends as the long descriptions of royal weddings are now. Fifty-four years ago the 20th of last month one of the largest weddings of the time took place in this city at the residence of Mr. Alexander Russell, on South Meridian street. The bride was hi3 niece, Miss Margaret Gresham, and the groom was Mr. John Wood. The company was the largest of any that had gathered for a similar event. The house was one story end there was a room on the porch. From this room the bride and groom entered and took their places in the parlor. The bride wore an ashts-f-rose3 silk. It was made with a full skirt and the waist was shirred to a point in the front. After the ceremony a bountiful supper was spread. Everything wa3 put on a long table at once. The table ornamentation was In the latest style. In the center wis the bride's cake. At each end was a tall pyramid of email cakes fastened together with candies, and over the top was spun sugar:. After two years they moved to the point and llvel for fifty years in the little house opIo?ite the Denlson. which stands to-day. I"rob?blv the couple who have been married the longest are Mr. and Mrs. Iiezin Ferguson. Both are well-known members of Meridian-street Church. The 9th of this month they will have been married pixty-four years. Their wedding was in Georgetown. D. C When Mary Jones dressed herself for the ceremony she put on a simple white lawn. The plain skirt hs.il a wide hem, and the low neck, made square, was Gathered full. Over the shoulders were straps of the lawn which lapped. She had white shoes, and gloves with one button, which reached only to the wrist. Ttezin Fersuon was more gaily attired. He wore a blue coat, with brass buttons, clnamon trousers and a white Marseilles vest. The room In which they were married was decorated with vines over the pictures and mantel. The minister. Hew John L. Ames, entered first. He was followed by the bridesmaid and groomsman, the bride and groom, and then by the bride's parents. For the wedding supper there was wine and cake. Iiezin Ferguson and his wife lived in the Fast until April 1, 1S5S, when they came to this city, and their home now is with their daughter, Mrs. Eleanor Coffav. OLD QUAKER WEDDING. Another couple, wno are almost rivals of Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson in the number of years they have been married 13 Mr. and Mrs. Valentine Nicholson, parents of Mrs. II. McKay and Misses Mary and Elizabeth Nicholson, Jane F. Wales and Valentine Nicholson were of the Quaker faith. Their home was in Warren county, Ohio. One morning when there were services In the church, the bans having been announced pome weeks before, these two stood up and said their own ceremony as is the Quaker custom. The brlae had on a gown severe In its simplicity. The material was a changeable silk of b'ack and brown. Over her shoulders war a large crape shawl of bluish .tint and on her head a Friends bonnet. The groom wore a suit with the round front peculiar to the day and kept his broad-brimmed hat on during the ceremony. When meeting was out the bride and groom, with a number of their relatives and friends, went to the home of the bride's parents for dinner. The next day was the event. Then the newly-wedded couple went to the home of the groom's parents for the "incoming." This was for all the friends, and a large dinner was spread. The wedding took place in October, Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson made their home in Warren county till they came to this city Just after the war. Their declining days are being spent in the cozy cottage at the corner of Broadway and Home avenue, with their daughters about them. When Oct- 1 comes in it-will usher the fifty-ninth anniversary of the marriage of Miss Nancy Allen and Fablus M. Finch. Nancy Allen lived near Georgetown, O.. and her husband el-ct in Franklin, Ind. lie rode on horseback to Georgetown for his bride. There was a goodly company of friends gathered to witness their nuptials. Jrom the garden which surrounded the house flowers were pluciced to ornament the home for the wedding, which took place at noon. Everything was very elaborate for the time. The bride wore a white Swiss dress with a surplice waist. There was a great deal of lace about the neck of the dresg. for the people m those days thought if the neck and hair were right that they were th essentials. This bride wore puffs each side of her fair face was fastened with side combs, and the hair at the back Vs 2,n,e .nis!n and a she comb of large size held it in place. A dinner was givfn after the compliments of the occasion had been passed and at the feast there was the season's luxury, pumpkin pies. For the second day this bride had a light green silk dress made low neck and with a short waist Over the neck she wore a cape 5 lace trimmed with a fluting or "footinc " Ir this latter there were fourteen yards It was a becoming and dainty bit of art parel and not unike the lace pieces tK yours women of to-day are wearES t1 weddinj journey is still Jemembered'aT11! most delightful event.

After the congratulations there was a "hand-arnnnri supr The bridal trip was IJrrtage to Hrookv lie accompanied by the bridVl party, and there the affair ended. Thomas was the first of the family to be manied and there was a round of gayety arranged at the home of the groom's parents for 'the young coupl. The bride's second-day dress was of stone-colored silk, with a heavy cord. . Miss Matilda Thornton and Mr. M. II Pentacost were married July Si. lsil in Henry county, near Newcastle. The old farmhouse was large and the Holliday house, on North Alabama street, has often reminded the half-century bride of her old home. The ceremony was at 1 o'clock on Wednesday. The time set for the wedding was noon, but it rained so hard that the grcorn. who lived twelve miles away, and who had come on horseback, was late The bride's iress was cf white swiss, rvide laia with a very full waist.

were 130 at the wedding, which was many for that time, as most of them had a long ways to travel to get there. The groom wore a Fult of biack. and the co:U was like the Prince Albert of to-day. There were three or four tables set for the supper. It was the style then to stand up for refreshments, and the party put on all the style that there was. Ti e bride and groom stayed a few days with her parents and then went and spent a few days with his. Some of the guests were horrified because they thought there was to be no hot dishes for the supper. Everything was cooked in bakeovens in the yard and was left in the ovens, so as to be hot and ready to use. At each end of the tables were "tree" puddings. The preparations were on a large scale and the 120 guests were given a big supper. Mr. and Mrs. Pentacost came to this city Sept. 15. 1S55. They are spending their golden years in a cozy home on Cornell avenue, and have to show to their friends some gifts presented to them on th j occasion of their fiftieth anniversary-. BIG "IXFAIR" DINNER. March Z. 1S10, was the wedding day of Harriet Cox and Aqullla Jones. Then Mr. Jones was a dry goods merchant at Columbus. Ind.. and when he and his wife celebrated their golden wedding he was the postmaster at Indianapolis. The groom went from his home to High Rock, near Martinsville, for his bride. The malls were slow and the roads were not In the very best condition, so that the bride did not know just the day her true love would come. He traveled with hl3 own horses and vehicle, which was a fine thing to do then, securing a minister on the way. The bride was ready, and when the hour for the ceremony came she had on a changeable silk dress of lavender with a purple raised rose. It had full skirt and sleeves and the walt was shirred to a fine point In front and back. The bride had been away to boarding school at Bloomlngton, and of course had all the benefit of that exierience. The house in which they were married was the only frame dwelling for many miles around. When the time came for them to go to the home of the groom the Journey was made with the latter's tnrnout from. Martinsville to Columbus. With the wild country of that time it can be imagined there were lively bits of travel. A big "infair" dinner was given at the groom's home on their arrival, when the bride brought out her second day dress. Mr. and Mrs. William Judson celebrated their golden wedding at the home of Mrs. A. V. Judson on College avenue in April. 1S1. Fifty years before Mary Russ and William Judson were married at West IJloomfield. N. Y. The house was a large one. and from its hich position one could see several villages. The bride thought she was Just in fashion, for she had on one of the first ashe3-of-roses silk gowns that had been seen in that section and her slippers were made of the same. The dress was handsome, with Its full skirt just escaping the floor and its full waist. The sleeves were gauged but half way between the shoulder and elbow. On her head was a wreath of moss rosebuds and at her throat a ruby pin. which she had borrowed for good luck. There were folds of the silk on the skirt and it was caught uo at intervals with rosettes of the same. White silk cloves embroidered on the back and tied with white ribbons completed the costume. There were four kinds of cake, tea and coffee and fruit for the supper. Friends came in to help make the cakes, which were baked in a brick oven, and the bride's loaf was rich fruit cake. The bridesmaid was Miss Cllndenia Gardner, and as the widow of Rev. Russ, she having married the bride's brother, she now lives in Lafayette. The second day a iarge oarty went in carriages to Avon Springs for dinner, which answered for the bridal our. Mr and Mrs. Judson came to this cl.y in $ and for seven years lived at the Bates House, of which Mr. Judson "was the proprietor. MR. AND MRS. FIELDING BEELER. The 18th of this month Mr. and Mrs. Fielding Beeler will celebrate .their golden wedding with an informal reception, to which they ask all their friends, old and new. At the time they were married Robert Duncan wad the county clerk, and Lew Wallace, now General Lew, was the deputy, and he made out the license. Their home is across Eagle creek, and near the Vincennes road, about half a mile, from Maywood. Phineas Gurley was the minister who officiated, and he lived in Washington and preached the funeral sermon for President Lincoln. When they were married Rev. Gurley was the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, which stood where the Journal building now stands. Mrs. Beeler 'as Mls3 Eliza Ann Mars. The bride's dress was of white swlss, and her second-day dress was of figured silk. The refreshments, luxuries for the time, were doughnuts, pies and cakes. For the "infair" there was a large dinner party at the home of the groom's father, Joseph Beeler. Their house was wrhat is known as the old Pat Harmon place, and still stands. It is quite a remarkable fact that within a square have lived three couples who have passed more than fifty years together. Judge and Mrs. F. M. Finch are on one corner, next door to them Mr. and Mrs. George Breunig lived till last month, when Mrs. Breunig passed away, they having been married fifty-nine years last April, and just on the other side of the square are Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson, arho have been married elxty-four years. In 1840 Miss Martha A. Wiles came from Lebanon, O., to Indianapolis to visit some friends. The journey took four days from Cincinnati, and It was hard and rough. The next year the young lady came to-this place as the bride of Mr. John Morris, and for fifty-three years they have made their home here. In June of 1841, at Lebanon, O., they were married. The wedding was at 10 o'clock in the morning, and the bride wore a traveling dress of olive green cashmere, with a bonnet to match which was an unusual thing for that time. The breakfast was Immediately after the ceremony, and the bride and groom left after a few hours for Cincinnati. From there they went to Madison by boat, from there to Vernon by rail and then to Indianapolis by stage. Among the guests at the wedding were Governor Corwin and family and Judge Smith. Mr. Morris has lived here ever since he pastured the cows at the corner of Meridian and Vermont streets and was afraid to go to them on account of the wolves. They have lived hpre longer than any other of the couples who have lived to celebrate their golden weddings in this city. CARSOT'S ASSASSINATION.

Police Neglect, After Warning:, Made Ills Death Possible. New York Sun. One of the Paris newspapers has recently published what it declares to be the truthful statement of an ex-employe of the secret detective service. This man is said to have been an employe of the government until a very recent date and his most important work of recent years had been In connection with his efforts to keep the movements of the Anarchists known to the government police. This detective's Identity Is concealed under the sobriquet "M. X.," but the paper which published his story announces that hi3 real name is written on a card in an envelope at the office of the newspaper, and that it will- be given to any member of the Carnot family who cares to see it. The gist of the story which the ex-detcc-tlve writes is that he had informed the police authorities that the Anarchists would make an attempt on Carnofs life at Lyons before the President left Paris. Some eight months be.ore he had learned from a group of Anarchists in London that Carnot was doomed. From another Anarchist in Brussels, a chemist, who has invented an explosive which is said to have far greater strength than dynamite, the detective learned that an attempt was to be made when the President attended the races at Longchamps. This was communicated to the police and the writer of the story says that the President was so closely guarded cn that day that the Anarchists gave up the plan ?.s hopeless. According to his story there was a small army of detectives and policemen guarding Carnot when he went to the races, and every man In the crowd suspected of being an Anarchist was shadowed by two or three detectives. Then, according to the story of "M. X.." the Anarchists decided to make the attempt on the President's lire when he went to open the exposition. Word of their intention was sent to the police by the detective but he says that they refused to believe that any particular precautions for the President's safety were necessary. "M. X." writes that he repeatedly urged his superiors, one of whom is a man still in high oTlce, ro guard Carnot at Lyons as elaborately as they had at Longchamps. If his advice Had been taken, the ex-detective writes, Carnofs murder would have been impossible, and he says that the police cannot excuse themselves for allowing the crowds to press so near the President's carriage, on the ground that it was his request, as they had been warned that an attempt was to be made on his life. lie throws the responsibility for the late President's death on the police who, according to his statements could have prevented it by proper precautions in guarding him at Lyons. The tirovrth of Aluminium's Use. Hardware Trade Journal. The demand for aluminium for many purposes, especially in Its use as an addition to steel, has been brought to the notice of the public very often recently. The discovery and growth of Its use is shown by the following: In 1S;J Its use was practically discovered, although as a mineral It had been known before, and elcrhtvthre pounds were used; in ISM 150 pounds wer used: in 1SS 2M0 pounds were con?ll.mtd and in 1SJ3 its use had grown to UitV3 pounds.

PLAYS FOR THIS WEEK

UNCLE TOM'S CABIN AND CLEVELAND'S MINSTRELS AT ENGLISH'S. Sndlc IlnMHon nt the Park, Followed by the Ilnnley Comedy Company Albinl nt the Empire. The season at English's Opera House commences to-morrow afternoon, the occasion being a special Labor-day matinee and the attraction "Uncle Tom's Cabin." This is undoubtedly the most popular play ever presented on the American stage, and, though seen season after season, its drawing powers are, comparatively speaking, undiminished. It was somewhere back in the latter part of the fifties that the dramatization of Harriet Beecher Stowe's book was first given to the New York stage, which was in a period when the slavery question held Northern and Southern elements in turbulent expectancy. Now the play is old and commonly referred to as a "chestnut," or a "back number." Such an opinion, however, Is not within the reasoning of thousands of people, and If one requires evidence of this all he has to do is to drop into a theater where the play is being given and listen to the unrestrained laughter of the hundreds of children present over the comic actions of Topsy, or tha lawyer Marks, with his diminutive donkey, or watch the white handkerchiefs almost involuntarily carried to the eyes of the ladies over the abuse of the humblo and faithful Uncle Tom and the death of Little Eva, There are many people who rarely, if ever, attend the playhouse unless It be that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is being given there. "Uncle Tom" will be at English's Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, with matinees to-morrow and Wednesday. Davis's company comprises half a hundred colored plantation singers, buck and wing dancers, the famous Hyer sisters, who appear as the two Topsies, a big lot of scenery, a pack of bloodhounds, twenty ponies, donkeys and burros, an ox cart and other reminders of slavery days. Thtre will be a street parade Monday morning. Cleveland's Minstrels Thnrsduy. On Thursday and Friday nights Cleveland's Minstrels, with no less a light than the world-famous Billy Emerson at the head of the organization, appear at English's for two performances. There Is a spectacular first part, during which Emerson, Lew Benedict and the Crawford Brothers create no end of fun, according to the Boston and Washington papers, where the company has been performing. The vocalists include Banks Winter, William J. Murphy, Will Holbrook, David Eilenberger and others, who contribute choice selections from a varied repertoire, while Charles and Edward Crawford and Messrs. Emerson and Benedict intersperse their gpecialtles. The first part concludes with a very amusing skit entitled, "The Battle Royal," in which the whole company appears. Prominent In tho olio that follows, beside those already mentioned, .are Harry Constantine and Billy Lyons, who appear as a pair of stage-struck domestics. Mr. Constantlne's costumes and his ballet dancing and the female Impersonation of Mr. Lyons are pronounced capital. Ed Thompson and George Bunnell furnish a mirth-provoking and rollicking musical act. The Crawford brothers give a high-kicking, acrobatic dancing, eccentric singing act, and the Alpha Four Messrs. Winter, Eilenberger, Sparks and St. George present their novel specialty, "In Camp," int?ducmgr vocal and Instrumental music, musket drills and combats. The minstrels will be seen at English's Thursday and Friday evenings only. Sadie Hanson nt the Parle. The Park changes this .week from farcecomedy to sensation for three days, and then back to comedy again for three more. Sadie Hasson, always bright, always popular, comes to-morrow with her company in her dashing play, "A Kentucky Girl." The realism In this piece is such as to keep the audience worked up from start to finish. In the third act a sawmill in operation is shown, and two persons tied to a log are about to be sawed into bits, when rescued by the heroine. Charity Jarvls, the part played by Miss Hasson. Another realistic situation occurs in the race for life between the moonshiners and the daring and determined heroine. The race is made on an actual working handcar and a railroad velocipede, the heroine being on the latter. The destination of both is an elevated drawbridge over which a lightning express Is at any minute expected to pass. No sooner is the drawbridge reached and swung in shape than the flying train, which Is actually 150 feet long by 8 feet high, shoots across the bridge. In this scene is introduced some 3.0C0 feet of elaborately painted panoramic views, which, moved in the opposite direction, makes the racers appear as traveling at a terrific pace. "A Kentucky Girl" will be given Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, opening with tomorrow's matinee. Empire Theater. The London Empire Entertainers , commence a week's engagement at the Empire Theater to-morrow. (Labor day) matinee. The company is headed by Unthan, "the armless wonder," who plays on the violin and cornet, shoots with accuracy at any object, shuffles and deals cards, opens wine, eats and does everything with his toes. Madame Yucca, "the female Samson," who is said to lift a horse and eight heavy men. weighing 2,400 pounds, is another member of the company. Albinl, "the king of cards;" Nellie Magulre, the well-known low comedy artiste; O'Brien and Buckley, the musical comedians; Byron and Blanch, comedy sketch artists; Keating and Lord, the funny black-face knockabout comedians: Doretta and Robetta, with their Chinese laundry, and Eddie Evans, the club swinger, are also on the bill. "A Wild Goose Chase." The last three days of the week, beginning with next Thursday's matinee, will be filled by the Hanleys and their company In a double comedy bill, comprising the two plays "A Wild Goose Chase" and " 'Squire Haskins." The company numbers some clever people, and the bill is said to be a good one. The Grand to Open Sept. 17. "Blue Jean3" will be the opening attraction at the Grand Opera House this season, occupying that theater all fair week. The initial performance will be Monday night, Sept. 17. A HIT OF HISTORY. Correct Except am to Injrernoll Delnj? Unknown to the Public. Washington Post. "Bob Inersoll was comparatively n unknown man when he delivered that incomparable speech nominating Blaine at the Cincinnati convention of 1S76." said Hon. S. IS. Moras at Welcker's last evening. "He had of course some reputation in Illinois and had attracted a little attention outside by some clever articles in a Chicago newspaper. But the Nation at large knew nothing of him, and in New York he was an utter stranger. I happened to be In that convention and sat verv near Ingersoll. George William Curtis had made a rpeech seconding the nomination of Bristow, of Kentucky. It was polished, scholarly and beautifully delivered. It didn't make an additional Bristow vote. Curtis and William H. Robertson srere the only men of the New YorK delegation that were not there for Conkling. The other candidates were Morton, of Indiana, and the Ohio delegation was for Hayes, but nobody dreamed he had the ghost of a chance. "Blaine was the hot favorite and when Ingersoll rose to champion his cause there was an nten3e silence in the old Music Hall, for men wanted to hear what this" unknown had to say.. In less time than it takes to tell it they found themselves listening to sentences of such fervid eloquence that the auditors sat spell-bound. As for nie, I was simply transported with the man's wondrous oratory. I had never heard any like it before, nor have I lis tened to any that approaches it since. It ;vas the greatest speech to my mind that mortals ever listened to. It was in this speech that Blaine received the appeila tion of the plumed knight, which clung to him as long as he lived. When Ingersoll feat down the applause rent the heavens, and if the gas hadn't gone out or been turned oft (as some say), and a vote could have been taken forthwith, no one who was there doubts that James G. Blaine would have been nominated for President of the United States. The adjournment till morning waa fatal tto the man from Maine." . Fascination of Cities. Octave Thanet. in Scritner.

HEFER

ol Aeents there's so many cowa to cnase you," wailed one wretched woman who had been taken out of a squalid tenement and placed in a clean, comfortable room, with a prospect of eood wages, in a little village. She sickened for her crowded street and the hand organs and monkeys, and the motley procession surging past her window: sickened as miserably as the Swiss for his mountains. There was an agreeable man, a workingman, who passed so much of his time In the Liberal Arts Building that I came to know his face; he used to hold arguments with a man in clerical dress on the subject of the unions, and he spoke with so much moderation, such a broad charity and withal so shrewd a humor that, far as I am from his household of faith. I could not sympathize with his opponent's discomfiture. Rather, I thought, 'Were all labor organizers like you employers would do vell to treat with the unions." This agreeable man once spoke about the attachment of the poor to the great cities. "I have felt it myself." said he. "I moved into the country and came In on a train every day, but it was for the children's sake; Just that. There isn't a day, especially in the evening, that I don't miss the streets. That's what I tell my wife. I don't want the children to grow up with that passion for tua city in their blood. I'm raising some vegetables at great expense so as to set them in the way of loving things that grow. But I'm too old a dog to learn new tricks myself. You see. there is excitement all the time in the street and something to see and to hear. Besides, if a fellow is not big himself he likes to belong to something big. Seer A DISAGREEABLE 3IA3T. A Revised Version of "Ships That Faun in the Mgbl." Boston Budget. The Disagreeable Man was a mere shadow, yet he easily tilled two Beats in the electric car. His paper, which he read continually, occupied the space of another seat. No one spoke to him, but he didn't give a hang, or a cuss, or a continuental darn whether they did or not. He was waiting. The bell sounded two weary strokes. Bernadlne entered the car with a preoccupied air it was all she had, for she was poor. Her clothes were dusty and she was hot. So was the day. She reached the front of the car and dropped into a seat. He partially looked up in complete surprise. Iso one had ever done that before. "Room for one more on the left, please," called the knight of the fare. The Disagreeable Man did not move. "Did you hear what he said?" asked Bernadlne. I hear what you say," replied the Disagreeable Man. "Then I say what he said," she "went on. The Disagreeable Man was lost in thought. He was thinking of her. "Does she mean me?" he asked himself. She was the only girl who had ever made him think. In fact, he thought twice. His second offense was: "If it were not for the promise to my mother not to stay out after dark while she is alive I would see this girl home." And still he waited. The conductor came to collect the fares. The Disagreeable Man paid for both. "Hadn't you better let me cash up now?" asked Bernadlne, making a bluff to find her pocket. "Yes," he answered. Five cents, please," Bernadlne was surprised, but she was game. That was one on Bernadlne. They rode for a long time in silence. At last a Polish Jew widow entered the car. Bernadlne moved along to give her a seat. "Why did you do that?" said the Disagreeable Man in a huff. "When you have a thing in this world you want to freeze to it for yourself." "You don't understand," was the calm reply. "I have a philosophy of life." . "You're next thing to a fool," he said. Bernadlne was beginning to thaw. He was not like the other men. His noble frankness pleased her. But she could not resist the temptation. "Don't call yourself hard names," she said. That was one on the Disagreeable Man. But he smiled that four-by-slx sunburst smile of his and lapsed into silence. Yes, he would see her home. He was sure his mother could not have lived through the day that was now drawing to a close. So it was all right. He helred her from the car. "Stop squeezing my arm!" she said. That settled it. He was sure he loved her now. But he was politic. "Don't flatter yourself," he said. "Talk about hands! I held four queens last night." That was too much for Bernadlne. She knew he was her Jack the Jack of her heart. Just then they stopped near a lamp post The Disagreeable Man noticed for the first time that her eyebrows were black and her hair a delicate hempen gold. Then he realized the truth. It was as If a herdlc had struck him. And so Bernadlne dyed! He puUed himself together, turned silently from her and started home to his mother. He would seek some hell on earth. He would go to Chicago, where he would Join the American Railway Union and get a job burning bridges. Swiss Tax on the Drummer. London Daily News. In Switzerland there is a tax upon commercial travelers, the returns of which afford data very much in the nature of a census of that body. It shows that while France is making greater and greater efforts to do business with the little republic, the case is precisely the opposite with England. In there were eighty-four English commercial travelers in the country. This year there were only fifty-three when the list was made up. In the same period the French travelers had increased from 289 to 4S9. The Germans, although they had appreciably decreased in number, still headed the list with 2,593 travelers. The produce of the tax varies a good deal, but it brings in about 20,000 to fO.OOO a year. The Meanest Man. Philadelphia Record. The meanest man on record lives in Manayunk.
